Daphne Simpkins has been writing about life in the South for over 20 years but recently began to explore the dimensions of Southern church women through her fictional character Mildred Budge. Many Mildred Budge short adventures have been published in the U.S. and Canada and in the short story collection Miss Budge In Love. In addition to the Miss Budge books and stories, Ms. Simpkins has written The Long Good Night, a memoir about caregiving and a follow-up to that book, What Al Left Behind. She recently published a memoir masquerading as a cookbook for new brides, A Cookbook for Katie. The next addition to the Mildred Budge novels is Embankment, which will be followed by The Bride's Room. A long-time adjunct English teacher at Auburn University Montgomery, Ms. Simpkins is an active member of the speakers' bureau sponsored by The Alabama Humanities Foundation.
